  • Title: Comparative in vitro activity and beta-lactamase stability of CGP 31523A, a new aminothiazolyl cephalosporin.
    Author: Chin NX, Neu HC.
    Journal: Chemioterapia; 1986 Apr; 5(2):92-100. PubMed ID: 3518967.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro activity of CGP 31523A, an aminothiazolyl cephem, was compared to that of other cephalosporins--imipenem, aztreonam, carbenicillin, and gentamicin. CGP 31523A inhibited E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, C. diversus, K. oxytoca, P. stuartii, Salmonella and Shigella at less than or equal to 0.25 micrograms/ml. It was equal or 2-fold more active than cefotaxime and ceftazidime, and 4-fold more active than imipenem against these organisms. It inhibited all carbenicillin and gentamicin-resistant isolates of these species. Neisseria and Haemophilus were inhibited by less than or equal to 0.12 micrograms/ml. Some C. freundii, E. cloacae, E. aerogenes, P. vulgaris, and P. penneri had MICs greater than or equal to 16 micrograms/ml similar to cefotaxime, ceftazidime and aztreonam. Pseudomonas were resistant, MIC 128 micrograms/ml. CGP 31523A inhibited streptococci at less than or equal to 0.25 micrograms/ml with the exception of S. faecalis, and staphylococci were inhibited by 0.5 micrograms/ml but methicillin-resistant isolates were resistant. Bacteroides and some Clostridium had MICs greater than or equal to 16 micrograms/ml. CGP 31523A was less stable than cefotaxime and ceftazidime to the plasmid TEM/SHV/PSE-4 beta-lactamases. Like cefotaxime it was hydrolyzed by the P. vulgaris type Ic beta-lactamase but not by the type Ia enzymes. CGP 31523A was not an effective beta-lactamase inhibitor nor did it induce beta-lactamases. It had overall activity comparable to available extended spectrum cephalosporins.
